Mandatory minimums and automatic weapons
Below, Leif Overvold of Harvard Law School previews United States v. O'Brien and Burgess, which will be argued on Tuesday, February 23. Check the O'Brien and Burgess (08-1569) SCOTUSwiki page for additional updates. [Note: Although Akin Gump and Howe & Russell represent one of the respondents in the case, Leif was not involved in the case.]
In United States v. O'Brien and Burgess, the Court will once again enter the tangled field of sentencing law, this time to interpret 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), which criminalizes the use or carrying of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence or drug trafficking and which has been the subject of several decisions since it was amended in 1998 to clarify that it extended to "mere" possession of a firearm. The case involves the sentence enhancement for the use of a "machinegun": Section 924(c)(1)(B)(ii) requires a thirty-year minimum sentence rather than the five years imposed for an ordinary violation of § 924(c). Having interpreted the pre-1998 version of this provision in Castillo v. United States (2000), the Court again must decide whether firearm type is a sentencing factor or instead an element of an aggravated offense that must be proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case arose out of an attempted armed robbery by three men, Martin O'Brien, Arthur Burgess, and Dennis Quirk, two of whom are respondents in the case as it comes to the Court. At their trial in federal court, there was a dispute regarding the guns that the defendants carried during the crime, and specifically one in particular, a pistol which, the FBI later determined, had been modified to function as a fully automatic weapon. The government charged possession of the pistol in two counts under Section 924(c): Count Three charged use of a firearm in a crime of violence, while Count Four specifically charged use of a machinegun under Section 924(c)(1)(B)(ii). Before trial, the district judge held that firearm type was an element of an aggravated offense, such that the thirty-year mandatory minimum could only be imposed if machinegun status were charged separately. Because the government conceded that it could not prove the defendants knew the pistol was a machinegun, it dropped Count Four, and the defendants pled guilty to the remaining charges, including Count Three. At sentencing, the government renewed its claim that firearm type was a sentencing factor, but the court again rejected the argument and found that the defendants were not subject to the thirty-year mandatory minimum.
The government appealed the decision to the First Circuit, which affirmed "with misgivings." Writing for the panel, Judge Boudin acknowledged a circuit split, with the weight of authority finding that firearm type was a sentencing factor. Although the court agreed that such an interpretation was, "in a vacuum," supported by the language and structure of the statute, it deemed itself bound by the Court's decision in Castillo notwithstanding the 1998 revisions to the statute. Arguing that the First Circuit decision demonstrated that the circuit split was now entrenched, the government sought certiorari, which the Court granted on September 30, 2009.
Arguing for reversal, the government first focuses on the statute's text and structure as the key indicators of congressional intent. The government emphasizes that, under Section 924(c)(1)(B), the thirty-year mandatory minimum applies to those "convicted of a violation of this subsection," and if the provision is triggered a violator "shall be sentenced" to the thirty-year term; in the government's view, this indicates that firearm type was intended as a sentencing factor for someone who has already been convicted of a Section 924(c) violation. Further, the structure of Section 924(c) "" which contains a "lengthy principal paragraph" followed by separate subsections "" raises a presumption, set out by Harris v. United States (2002) in its construction of Section 924(c)'s "brandishing" provision, that the principal paragraph identifies the elements of a crime, while the subsections set out sentencing factors. The location of the firearm-type provision directly between subparagraphs that are understood as setting out sentencing factors only reinforces this presumption.
The government next asserts that the additional factors identified as relevant in Castillo now militate in favor of finding firearm type to be a sentencing factor. First, although in the view of the Castillo Court there was no tradition of treating firearm type as a sentencing factor when the original version of this subsection was enacted, by 1998 the Sentencing Guidelines reflected such a tradition. The provision also now provides for mandatory minimums, which are more traditionally associated with sentencing factors than the pre-1998 version's determinate sentences. Moreover, although firearm type may increase the length of a defendant's sentence, that does not make it an element, as it only raises the mandatory minimum to which a defendant is subject. Further, although the legislative history is silent on this question, the change in the structure of the statute and the switch to mandatory minimums suggest that Congress intended to set out sentencing factors. Finally, the policy reasons for treating firearm type as a sentencing factor are sound: the firearms in question pose a serious danger, and the sentencing framework established allows for consistent and streamlined application of the enhancement while maintaining the accuracy of fact-finding.
In their briefs on the merits, respondents O'Brien and Burgess begin by questioning whether a determination on this issue will even resolve the case, as there has been no factual finding on machinegun status and the mens rea requirement remains unsettled. Moreover, they assert, the Court's decision in Castillo remains controlling even though it postdated the amendments, as there is no suggestion that the amendments to the statutory language construed in Castillo were intended to affect this question. However, even a fresh interpretation of the statute would lead to the same result. In respondents' view, the textual provisions emphasized by the government do not establish its preferred reading, while the structural changes made in 1998 simply reflect a general trend in how statutes are written rather than Congress's intent to change the provision's meaning. Further, the tradition of treating firearm type as an element, the six-fold increase in the mandatory-minimum sentence provided by this provision, and the absence both of unfairness in having a jury decide this issue and of legislative history on the question all continue to suggest that firearm type is an element rather than a sentencing factor.
Finally, O'Brien and Burgess argue that the government's reading of the statute raises substantial constitutional questions. First, the Court's Apprendi doctrine arguably applies to the factfinding at issue. Although the machinegun provision only raises the mandatory minimum to which one is subject for a violation of this subsection, a factual finding that the firearm is a machinegun is necessary for a sentence of at least thirty years to be reasonable under the Sentencing Reform Act. Thus, to the extent that the fact is necessary to permit the sentence to be imposed, the Sixth Amendment requires a jury to find it. Given the increase in the minimum sentence that results from such a finding, the government's reading also violates the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause because the sentencing factor would form such a major part of the sentence that "the tail would wag the dog" of the substantive offense, and the prosecution's burden of proof would thus be unconstitutionally diluted.
In its reply brief, the government defends the constitutionality of its reading of the statute. It emphasizes that the Court has repeatedly refused to apply its Sixth Amendment doctrine to facts that merely increase the mandatory minimum sentence, a distinction on which federal and state governments have relied. Moreover, it argues, O'Brien and Burgess failed to argue below that a finding on firearm status was necessary to render a thirty-year sentence reasonable; reasonableness review does not generate a predictable maximum sentence on which an offender might have relied; there is no historical practice of requiring a jury to find such facts; and the respondents' proposed approach would be unworkable. Further, the Court has never held that allowing judges to find facts that increase a sentence within an already authorized range dilutes the prosecution's burden under the Fifth Amendment and "" in any case "" the sentencing factor does not "overshadow" the offense here. Finally, the Court should refuse to consider respondents' arguments regarding the unsettled nature of the mens rea requirement, but if it does consider them, the fact that firearm possession was illegal in this case regardless of the weapon's status suggests that specific knowledge need not be shown for the subsection to apply.

Ok, in my Java programming class we have to write a program that reads some integers between 1 and 100 and counts the occurrences of each. Assume the input ends with 0. Here is a sample run of the program:
Enter some integers between 1 and 100: 2 5 6 5 4 3 23 43 2 0
2 occurs 2 times
3 occurs 1 time
4 occurs 1 time
5 occurs 2 times
23 occurs 1 time
43 occurs 1 time
Note that if a number occurs more than one time, the plural word "times" is used in the output. Also,
note that the integers input will be between 1 and 100 but there may be more than 100 numbers input.
Finally, note that for integers input 0 times, nothing is printed.
Ok so here's what I have so far, but the program won't run! If you could be as thorough as possible, I'm a beginner and terrible at programming! Thanks so much!
import java.util.Scanner; class NumberOccurance{ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter the integers between 1 and 100: "); int i, count[] = new int[101]; while (input.hasNextInt()) count[input.nextInt()]++; for (i=1; i < 101; i++) if (count[i] != 0) System.out.println(i+" occurs "+count[i]+" time"+(count[i]>1?"s":"")); } }
When I debug this in netbeans it allows me to enter the numbers but I get no response what is wrong? What am I missing?

text: Hi folks, best wishes to all. I'm new to OM and thought this would be a good place to pick your brains. Whilst reading the current crop of outdoor mags each month I often think to myself "Blimey,I can write better than that" or "This guy hasn't got a clue". I would love to be a Tom Hutton, Jim Perrin (in my dreams), Jerry Rawson etc and I'd like some advice on how best to approach potential employers. I live in Peterborough and I'm fairly itching to contact Trail but want to get it right and not appear amateurish. I'd appreciate any feedback from those in the know. Diolch

If you have questions you believe should go in here, please let us know on the Platform developer mailing list or just open a new bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT.
Archive: Questions that are not relevant for the latest SWT versions but may be useful for older versions.
The SWT team is happy to receive patches and understand that providing patches is a challenging task for new contributors.
The following is a list that could be associated with the bugzilla bug report:
Note: Patches satisfying all the items on the list will be reviewed with priority.
Here is the complete list:
Classes that are not in these packages do not belong to SWT.
Why is this important? Posting a snippet to the news group is the quickest way to get help. Including a snippet in a bug report is the fastest way to get a bug fixed. Taking the time to construct a snippet helps you understand the API of the library you are calling and focuses your thinking. For example, the SWT team uses C and Java snippets internally to prove or disprove problems in the operating system. Often, something you think is a bug is actually caused by something elsewhere in your program.
Snippets isolate problems. Code speaks louder than words.
Here is a minimal stand alone SWT program to help you get started:
public static void main (String [] args) { Display display = new Display (); Shell shell = new Shell (display); shell.open (); while (!shell.isDisposed ()) { if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep (); } display.dispose (); }For a list of sample snippets, see the SWT snippets page.
Important note: Once the plug-in has been exported, the intermediate files that were created in order to make the plug-in jar are not deleted. As a result, subsequent exports of the same plug-in will NOT recompile the workspace contents, and therefore will not contain any changes that have been made in the interim. For such changes to be included in a re-export of the plug-in, these intermediate files must be deleted in order to force their recompilation. The easiest way to do this is to select the org.eclipse.swt.WS.OS.ARCH project, press F5 to refresh it, and then replace its content with the released content.
In order to build the required libraries and run Eclipse, you will require a JDK (Java Development Kit) version that is supported by Eclipse. Check eclipse.org for details.
Building the SWT JNI libraries from the eclipse SDK download:
Building the SWT JNI libraries from the eclipse GIT repository:
NOTE: These instructions require you to use Eclipse
Building the SWT natives on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04, etc. (without XULRunner support)
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 and
org.eclipse.swt.tools projects from dev.eclipse.org (see
How to use SWT from GIT, use
as the
.classpath file in the
org.eclipse.swt project).
build.xml ant script in the
project and run its "replace.32.to.64" target. Once this target has completed you must refresh (F5)
org.eclipse.swt project in order to pick up the changes.
build.xml file. Refresh (F5)
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 project when this target has completed, to pick up the new libraries.
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64 project will now contain the 64-bit native libraries, and if you're
interested, the 64-bit source code will now be available in the
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64/src folder.
Starting from Eclipse/SWT 4.4.x, Linux builds come with GTK+ 3 support enabled by default.
Starting from Eclipse/SWT 4.10.x, Linux builds only come with GTK+ 3 support, GTK+ 2 is no longer supported.
You can determine which version(s) of GTK you have installed with rpm -q gtk2 or rpm -q gtk3.
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version system property to the version being used.
To display this value in Eclipse, go to Help > Installation Details > Configuration.
where 3.14.12 corresponds to the GTK version currently used by Eclipse.
If you are launching with SWT from GIT in your workspace (see
How to use SWT from GIT, use
as the
.classpath file in the
org.eclipse.swt project and make sure you have the
org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.maxosx.x86_64 project in your workspace),
then you also need to modify the
.classpath file as follows:
attribute value="org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx"change to:
attribute value="org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64"
The name of the manifest file must match the name of the executable. In the case of eclipse, the executable is javaw.exe and the manifest file must have the name javaw.exe.manifest. The manifest file must be in the jre\bin folder for the VM you use to launch Eclipse. Note: the eclipse.exe executable does not launch Eclipse; eclipse.exe displays a splash screen and then invokes the Java VM.
Here is a sample manifest file to download.
style "eclipse" { font_name = "Sans 12" bg[NORMAL] = "#d6d3ce" bg[ACTIVE] = "#c7c2bc" bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#828282" bg[PRELIGHT] = "#3a6ea5" fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" fg[ACTIVE] = "#000000" fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#d4d0c8" fg[PRELIGHT] = "#ffffff" } class "GtkWidget" style "eclipse"
To turn off anti-aliasing of fonts you should use the facilities available in your desktop if possible, such as the Gnome Font Properties dialog. An alternate approach is to ensure that your ~/fonts.conf or system-wide fonts.conf file contains the following:
<match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match>
The SWT JNI libraries are included in the SWT download.
A Java application can be informed of the location of the libraries in several ways:
In the Launch Configuration Dialog of eclipse select the Arguments page, and in the VM arguments field enter: -Djava.library.path={runtime-library-path} Where the runtime-library-path is the absolute path to the directory containing the native code library (see above).
This solution means that the SWT libraries have to be manually added to every project that uses SWT.
For Windows this is done by editing the PATH environment variable to
include the above mentioned runtime-library-path.
in Win 9X this is done by editing the autoexec.bat file,
on NT or 2K the variable is edited through My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
On linux/unix, modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the runtime-library-path.
The disadvantage of this solution is that every time you upgrade eclipse you have to remember to copy the native code library.
Starting with Eclipse 3.1, the SWT plugin that comes with Eclipse, includes the JNI libraries in the SWT jar. This was done to support OSGi and Eclipse RCP. If you are using the plugin you must extract the libraries to include them in the path.
You need to either launch Eclipse from the installed directory or modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location of libXm.so.2.
-Djava.library.path is used by the VM to locate libraries for System.loadLibrary calls. However, it does
not update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and therefore does not help libraries locate other libraries.
new Image(display, 10985, 1102);
eclipse -vmargs -Xmx400m
All messages from SWT will be printed to the console window.
See this snippet for an example of how to use the API.
If you are running an older Linux distribution that does not include cairo, you will have to install the cairo library (any version greater than 1.2)
In extreme circumstances, you may need to subclass a widget other than Canvas or Composite. We recommend against doing this unless all other avenues have been explored and exhausted. Try to wrap the widget first, before subclassing it. Here is why:
Subclassing Canvas or Composite is the best way to ensure that your widget works on all SWT platforms. The 'is-a' test in this case tests whether your widget is-a basic or compound widget. Subclassing anything else requires asking if the new widget is an SWT native widget of the type being subclassed. For example, a 100% Java portable PictureLabel is not an SWT native Label.
When subclassing anything other than Composite or Canvas you must override the method protected void checkSubclass() to do nothing. Make sure you read the method comment before overriding it.
A: See Why doesn't a widget send events when I change it programmatically?.
The problem with the other two API methods (i.e. printStackTrace(PrintStream) and printStackTrace(PrintWriter)) is that the classes mentioned in their arguments (PrintStream and PrintWriter) are not available in the CLDC class library. Because we need to maintain compatability with CLDC, we can not override them.
org.eclipse.swt.printing.Printer.getPrinterList() can be used to determine
whether or not there are any printers installed on the system. This method returns an array of
PrinterData objects. If the length of the array is 0, then there are no printers available.
If there are 1 or more elements in the array, then each
PrinterData object represents an
installed printer.
First take the snapshot into an image that was created on the display, and then get the imageData and create a new Image just for printing. Something like this:
// Take the snapshot into a display Image Point size = myWidget.getSize(); Image image = new Image(display, size.x, size.y); GC gc = new GC(myWidget); gc.copyArea(image, 0, 0); gc.dispose(); // Get the ImageData and create a new printer Image from it ImageData imageData = image.getImageData(); Image printImage = new Image(printer, imageData);
Then print using printImage. (Remember to dispose both images when you are done with them).
This is true for all graphic objects that you want to use for printing: Fonts, Colors, and Images. You need to recreate them on the printer before you can use them for drawing on the printer GC. You might get lucky sometimes, if the printer happens to have this font or that color, but you won't get lucky on all platforms and for all printers, and you won't get lucky for images. So get into the habit of thinking "Did I create this graphics resource on the same device that I am now trying to draw to?"
Point screenDPI = display.getDPI(); Point printerDPI = printer.getDPI(); int scaleFactor = printerDPI.x / screenDPI.x;Please see the ImageAnalyzer example in the org.eclipse.swt.examples project for an example of printing an image to a printer. Look at method menuPrint(). Note however that this is a pretty rough example, and it does not take into account what happens if the image is larger than the page - it just clips.
Text printing takes some thought also. You need to wrap words, put your page breaks in the right place, know where your margins are, etc. The SWT StyledText widget does its own text printing. If you need to see a more complicated example of printing a document, wrapping, margins, multi-page, etc., then please look at the inner class Printing in StyledText in org.eclipse.swt.custom. An instance of this class is created by the StyledText.print(Printer) API method.
Note also that when printing, any graphics objects that you use to draw, such as fonts, colors, and images, need to be re-created on the printer device before you can draw them to the printer GC.
We also recommend that you run your print job in a separate thread and not in the UI thread, because printing a long document to a slow printer can hang your entire UI while the printer spools.
Unfortunately, printing is not simply a matter of just passing in the printer GC instead of the screen GC. Printing has to be designed into your drawing classes. You don't have scrollbars anymore, so you have to either cut stuff off and print it on another page, or reorganize it, or scale it down, or wrap it somehow. Maybe you want to give some control to your users, and let them specify how many inches something should be, or whatever - maybe give them a ruler. There is no magic bullet - you will definitely have to give it some thought.
Rectangle trim = printer.computeTrim(0, 0, 0, 0);
A printer that can print edge-to-edge would have a trim.x and trim.y of 0,0. The trim.width and trim.height would be the same as the width and height of the physical paper.
A 600 dot per inch printer that cannot print on the leftmost 0.18 inch of the paper would have a trim.x of -108. So to print starting at precisely 1" from the left edge, take 600 (i.e. 1") and "add" -108 (i.e. subtract 0.18") to get the starting x position. Trim positions are negative because they are relative to the 0,0 position of the client area (or 'printable area') of the paper.
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.post(Event) can be used to post
mouse and keyboard events into the OS, which emulates the user performing the specified action.
This is the typical approach that is used for implementing JUnit test cases.
There are also stand-alone applications available for automating SWT user interaction tests:
use the following native renderers:
SWT.NONE as this will attempt to use a native renderer that should not require
additional software installation. However for clients with specific native browser requirements, the type of native renderer to use can be specified
on a per-instance basis, see How do I explicity use WebKit as the Browser's underlying renderer?,
How do I explicitly use Chromium as the Browser's underlying renderer? and
How do I explicitly use Mozilla as the Browser's underlying renderer?.
Note that as of Eclipse/SWT 4.8, the SWT.MOZILLA style is deprecated and XULRunner is not a supported native renderer on any of the supported platforms.
Note that as of Eclipse/SWT 3.7 it is possible to override the default native renderer that is used for
SWT.NONE-style Browsers,
see How do I specify the default type of native renderer that is used by the Browser?.
SWT.NONE-style Browsers are listed in
Which platforms support the SWT Browser, and which native renderers do they use?. In general these defaults
should not be overridden because they are chosen with the goal of using a renderer that should not require
additional software installation. However there are situations, such as the potential mixing of Mozilla and WebKit Browsers, where specifying
the default type of native renderer to use can avoid crashes caused by conflicting dependent libraries.
As of Eclipse/SWT 3.7.1 a user can set a property to specify the type of native renderer to use for
SWT.NONE-style Browsers.
Setting this property does not affect Browsers that are created with styles such as
SWT.WEBKIT or
The property name is
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType and valid values for it currently include "
ie" (@since 4.3) and "
chromium" (@since 4.17). This property must be set before the first Browser instance is created.
Note: As of Eclipse/SWT 4.8, the SWT.MOZILLA style is deprecated and XULRunner is not a supported native renderer on any of the supported platforms. Hence, setting the value of the property to mozilla is not valid.
Note: As of Eclipse/SWT 4.3 a user can specify a comma-separated list of native renderers, in order of preference, for the
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType value. Additionally, "
ie" is now a valid native renderer value. The purpose of these
changes is to enable applications to specify the default use of either Mozilla or WebKit on non-Windows platforms (where conflicting dependent library
problems can occur) without affecting the default renderer that is used on Windows (IE). An application wishing to do this should set this property's
value to either "
ie,webkit" or "
ie,mozilla". On Windows this will leave
SWT.NONE-style Browsers to use IE, and
on other platforms where IE is not available the second specified renderer in the list will be used for
SWT.NONE-style Browsers.
The best opportunity for a user to set this property is by launching their application with a
VM switch (eg.- add to the end of the eclipse.ini file:
An alternate approach that an eclipse application may use is to provide a
implementation that sets this property. This implementation will be invoked when the first Browser instance
is about to be created. The steps to do this are:
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType property.
canvas tags will not be shown properly, even if IE9 is installed on the machine. An HTML document can override
this behavior by including a
X-UA-Compatible meta tag as described in
Defining Document Compatibility, which enables the Browser to use a more modern compatibility mode if an IE version newer than IE7 is installed.
As of Eclipse/SWT 3.7 the Browser control defaults to using the compatibility mode that matches the installed IE version. This behavior will be overridden in the following two cases:
X-UA-Compatible meta tag that specifies an older IE version then the Browser will honor
this request. This will only affect the compatibility mode that is used for showing the document containing the meta tag, it will not
affect the compatibility mode for other documents.
org.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion to a value
from Browser Emulation before the first
Browser instance is created. For example, adding the line
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=7000 to the end of
eclipse.ini file will revert all IE-based Browsers to use IE7 compatibility mode by default.
setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/mozilla
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
SWT.WEBKIT (@since 3.7). The runtime requirements for
using WebKit-based Browsers are listed below. Note that failure to meet these runtime requirements will cause the Browser instantiation to fail.
C:\Program Files\Safari\Apple Application Support" or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support". If more than one of these directories are found then choose
the one with "Safari" in its directory ancestry.
It is important to note that conflicts have been reported between the dependent libraries of WebKit and Mozilla. As a result it is advised that Browser
instances with these respective types not be mixed in an application. If a Browser with one of these types must be used in an application then
java property
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType should also be set to this type to ensure that
SWT.NONE-style Browsers
do not cause the libraries from the other native browser renderer to be loaded (see
How do I specify the default type of native renderer that is used by the Browser?).
SWT.CHROMIUM (@since 4.17) or
set the Java property
You can get the SWT-Chromium libraries from the Eclipse SDK or from the standalone SWT Chromium support libraries section on the download page.
To use the Chromium libraries from the Eclipse SDK:
To use the Chromium libraries from the standalone SWT downloads:
To launch Eclipse with Chromium as the default browser type:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=chromium under -vmargs.
Eclipse/SWT 3.6.x can also use WebKitGTK for SWT.NONE-style Browsers created on GTK, but the user must explicitly request this by setting java property
org.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK" to "
true". In the absence of this property being set, Mozilla is used for all SWT.NONE-style
Browsers. (Note that Eclipse/SWT 3.6.x is only able to use WebKitGTK 1.2.x; it will fail if a newer WebKitGTK release is found.)
'overflow:auto' or
'overflow:hidden'. There are two ways to do this:
<body style='overflow:hidden'>.
network.proxy_host and
network.proxy_port (@since 3.4). These properties are checked
the first time a Browser is created, and if set, will be used for all non-local HTTP, HTTPS and FTP requests in all Browser
instances. A user wishing to set these values should do so by passing
-D... VM arguments to the JRE at startup.
Prior to Eclipse 3.3, printing was not implemented on GTK; however you can use the External Tools support in Eclipse to print files using lpr or some other printing utility. See here for the steps to set this up.
If a listener has a large amount of work to perform, instead of performing that work in the UI-thread, it can fork a separate thread so the UI-thread can continue dispatching events. If the other thread needs to execute code that accesses an SWT object, such as changing the string in a label, there is a concurrency issue. At the very least, some kind of synchronization is necessary to prevent the operating system or SWT from crashing, hanging or behaving unpredictably.
SWT implements a single-threaded UI model often called apartment threading. In this model, only the UI-thread can invoke UI operations. SWT strictly enforces this rule. If you try and access an SWT object from outside the UI-thread, you get the exception "org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access". Different operating systems have different rules governing threads, UI components and synchronization. Some use a single-threaded UI model like SWT. Others allow only one thread at a time in the window system library, controlling access through a global lock. This type of multi-threaded UI model is often called free threading. Currently, in order to be simple, efficient and portable, SWT is apartment threaded.
To allow background threads to perform operations on objects belonging to the UI-thread, the methods syncExec(Runnable runnable) and asyncExec(Runnable runnable) of Display are used. These are the only methods in SWT that can be called from any thread. They allow a runnable to be executed by the UI-thread, either synchronously, causing the background thread to wait for the runnable to finish, or asynchronously allowing the background thread to continue execution without waiting for the result. A runnable that is executed using syncExec() most closely matches the equivalent direct call to the UI operation because a Java method call always waits for the result before proceeding, just like syncExec().
The following code sets the text of a label from a background thread and waits for the operation to complete:

Note: As of SWT 3.2, the manifest file is no longer needed.
SWT.MOZILLA to specify that its renderer must be Mozilla-based (@since 3.3).
Note that
SWT.MOZILLA style is deprecated in 4.8 and XULRunner is not supported in Eclipse 4.8 and newer versions.
The runtime requirements for using Mozilla-based Browsers in Eclipse/SWT 4.4 to 4.7 are listed below. Note that failure to meet these runtime requirements will cause the Browser instantiation to fail.
It is important to note that conflicts have been reported between the dependent libraries of WebKit and Mozilla. As a result it is advised that Browser
instances with these respective types not be mixed in an application. If a Browser with one of these types must be used in an application then
java property
org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType should also be set to this type to ensure that
SWT.NONE-style Browsers
do not cause the libraries from the other native browser renderer to be loaded (see
How do I specify the default type of native renderer that is used by the Browser?).

org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath to the full path of a
specific XULRunner to use. This property must be set before the first Browser instance is created.
The best opportunity for a user to set this property is by launching their application with a
VM switch (eg.- add to the end of the eclipse.ini file:
An alternate approach that an eclipse application may use is to provide a
implementation that sets this property. This implementation will be invoked when the first Mozilla-based Browser
is about to be created. The steps to do this are:
org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath property.
As an example, the class below will set the property to the win32 xulrunner plug-in if it is present.
package org.eclipse.swt.browser; import java.io.*; import java.net.*; import org.eclipse.core.runtime.*; import org.osgi.framework.Bundle; public class XULRunnerInitializer { static { Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("org.mozilla.xulrunner.win32.win32.x86"); //$NON-NLS-1$ if (bundle != null) { URL resourceUrl = bundle.getResource("xulrunner"); //$NON-NLS-1$ if (resourceUrl != null) { try { URL fileUrl = FileLocator.toFileURL(resourceUrl); File file = new File(fileUrl.toURI()); System.setProperty("org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath",file.getAbsolutePath()); //$NON-NLS-1$ } catch (IOException e) { // log the exception } catch (URISyntaxException e) { // log the exception } } } } }
org.eclipse.swt.browser.MOZ_PROFILE_PATH to the
path of the profile before the first instance of a Mozilla-based Browser is created. The best opportunity for a user to set this property is by launching their application with a
VM switch (eg.- add to the end of the eclipse.ini file:
org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath is defined then use it (see Can I specify which XULRunner installation is used?).
SWT.NONE) Attempt to use the native browser pointed at by OS environment variable
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, which may be any of
the browsers listed here. Note that if this environment variable is not set when eclipse is run then on linux the eclipse launcher will try to set it by checking various
potential installation locations.
SWTError is thrown from the constructor, which should be caught and handled by the application. Subsequent attempts to
create Mozilla-based Browsers will go through these detection steps again.
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*; import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*; public class DisplayMozillaVersion { public static void main(String[] args) { Device.DEBUG = true; Display display = new Display(); Shell shell = new Shell(display); System.out.println(">>>Snippet creating SWT.MOZILLA-style Browser"); try { new Browser(shell, SWT.MOZILLA); System.out.println(">>>succeeded"); } catch (Error e) { System.out.println(">>>This failed with the following error:"); e.printStackTrace(); System.out.println("\n\nSnippet creating SWT.NONE-style Browser"); try { new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE); System.out.println(">>>succeeded"); } catch (Error e2) { System.out.println(">>>This failed too, with the following error:"); e2.printStackTrace(); } } display.dispose(); } }
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH. For example:
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/browser-plugins.
You can use
Browser.getWebBrowser() to access the JavaXPCOM
nsIWebBrowser that represents the Browser instance. For an example of using JavaXPCOM see
Snippet 267.
If you do not want to upgrade your GTK to a fixed version, you can make use of the org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting
flag available in Eclipse 3.3.1 maintenance builds as well as 3.4 M1 and later. To use this, you must pass the flag to eclipse on startup:
./eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting

Lesson Plan
Exploring the Subtext Strategy: Thinking Beyond the Text
|2 – 4
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|One or two 45-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Avon, Massachusetts
In a literary text, authors do not always tell readers what characters are feeling or thinking, and readers must instead make inferences to help them learn about the characters. Students use the Subtext Strategy to take on the perspectives of various characters in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and think beyond the written text. The teacher begins by previewing the cover of the story with students and asking them how Alexander is feeling based on the title and the illustration. Then, students listen to the first page of the story and watch the teacher model using the strategy. Students view the rest of the story online at Kennedy Center: StorytimeOnline in an adapted version and act out the role of an assigned character, expressing their interpretations of the characters' thoughts and feelings using visual cues from the illustrations and the information in the text.
Clyde, J.A. (2003). Stepping inside the story world: The Subtext StrategyA tool for connecting and comprehending. The Reading Teacher, 57, 150160.
- The Subtext Strategy involves using a story's illustrations to "imagine characters' thoughts"
- This strategy helps students:
- Make personal connections
- Develop increasingly strategic inferencing skills
- Empathize with characters
- Understand and take on other perspectives
- Make personal connections
- The Subtext Strategy works by having students look beyond the text and use the illustrations as cues to a character's inner thoughts (subtext). Students "become" the character and vocalize their perception of the character's feelings.

No, I'm not referring to Disney World; my thoughts are more specific than that, although Disney does have some beautiful, noble and humorous characters. We could all use a few twittering birds, comical owls and of course, a fairy godmother. I think all of us who suffer everyday can benefit greatly from a wild imagination, recognizing the power of imagery. We can also have a lot of fun and relief by developing a rich fantasy life. Let me list a few of the helpful images that are rolling around in my mind today.
Instead of seeing yourself as the wicked witch of the north, south, east or west, put someone else into that role. Oh, come on, there's always someone in our lives who looks good wearing a sour face and a pointy hat; just don't let it be you.
You're the hero or heroine in your own life…you must be. You are not the evil doer. Actually, in most cases we try to blame ourselves, but our health just fell apart when we weren't looking. Pretend a large bolder rolled off a thatched roof and landed directly on you and the horse you rode in on.
Take time each day to envision yourself pain free, active, and happy. If you will continue to do this, it will come closer to reality than always seeing yourself in a dark, dank cave being attacked by flying bats or werewolves.
Don't let your mind dwell on your loss of dignity. If you deal with a limp, it's undoubtedly affecting your self-image more than it is affecting the opinion of someone else. Place a smile on your face and they will respect you and try to understand. If you have to wear a pad for incontinence of bowel or bladder, you can still be a prince or princess. Who knows what went on under their pantaloons or jodhpurs? If you fall down by tripping or fainting, try to do it gracefully and always with dignity. Rebound the best way possible; never apologize. Always leave them guessing. Being a mystery is always more exciting than being pitied.
It's always okay to laugh at yourself. Humor is in all things, including pain and suffering as well as death. I know that's a strange reaction, but it really helps the family, the one who is passing, and others. You can't cry all the time. You can, but it makes you look awful, it uses up energy you need for other things, and depletes you of fluids.
Always do it with panache. I used to think of myself as a classy chick with style. I then went through a period of time when I was defined by bathrobes, crying and yes, bitching. I finally gave that ratty old bathrobe to Goodwill, cut my hair, shaved my legs (or face for you guys..no legs, please) and used deodorant and a fresh scent every day. I did it for me and for my husband. It didn't matter if I was going out or staying home. It just made me feel better about myself.
Never underestimate the power of glitter. If you're wearing a cast, think of all the opportunities you have to adorn it with glitter, sequins, buttons, used gun shells, fluorescent markers, duct tape, and best of all, a zipper glued onto it. That will really make them wonder about it and you.
Connect to others with a smile. Look them in the eyes and sincerely try to relate. Such an act will help you defeat the ugly troll of self-centeredness. There are other lives being lived in this big world other than yours and mine. Others are suffering, divorcing, marrying, falling in love, and yes, some are dying while others are giving birth. Life is abuzz all around us. This is it. Don't isolate yourself too much because life will go on without you. Children grow and develop lives of their own. Pups and kitties give and receive love, and the flowers will fade but they will come back again next year. Flowers, trees, and plants may appear dormant, but life is still there. Kids and animals are rarely dormant and need what we have to give to them.
Try to enjoy each season as it rolls around. This is one of those "Oh heck, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" moments. Why do we complain when we should be opening our eyes and reflecting on the consistency of life, its cyclic beauty as it takes place right outside our windows? I can hear the sleet hitting the windows as I write this, and I say thank you for a warm furnace, long johns, and a backup generator.
Be thankful for something every day. Some days you and I really have to pull out our imaginations and find something to be thankful for. It can be a new child, grandchild, or someone we love recovering from surgery. We can be thankful for the fragrant lavender scent of soap. We can be thankful for a load of freshly dried towels; go ahead bury your face in them and feel the warmth. We can be thankful for friends and family, for a car that starts on a cold morning, for a full refrigerator and cupboard. Get the idea? Just open your eyes and look. Don't forget to say thank you. It can be a wonderfully transforming act.
Mental imagery can be amazing. It can also take us to a better place when we need the trip. It's a natural high without drugs or alcohol. It can restore hope to a wounded spirit and can help us approach new ideas which will make our bodies feel better. Before you decide I'm crazy, give it a try.

Navarrette: Ted Cruz gets D.C.'s goat
WASHINGTON - It's a good thing I don't live in our nation's capital. If I did, I'd spend all my time defending my friend, Ted Cruz.
The relentless and personal attacks on the Texas senator -- who has been in office for only four months -- come from both liberals and conservatives. The critics are of the Washington mindset that suggests there is a proper way that things are done in this city.
Cruz doesn't follow the script.
Commenting on news reports that the 42-year-old plans to pursue the White House in 2016, Joan Walsh of left-leaning Salon smugly predicted that the first-term senator "will never be president," especially with his credentials as a "far-right ideologue" and the fact that he is an "expert in the kind of crazy the tea party likes."
New York Times columnist David Brooks, known as a moderate conservative, went off the rails. He didn't criticize Cruz to his face. He actually criticized his face. "If you mention the name Ted Cruz to other senators, you just get titanic oceans of eye-rolling," Brooks said during a television interview. "It doesn't help that he has a face that looks a little like Joe McCarthy, actually."
And, not wanting to be left behind, right-wing Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin criticized Cruz for calling some of his Republican Senate colleagues "a bunch of squishes" on gun control. She wrote: "There is being principled, and then there is being a jerk. Putting down your colleagues to boost your own street cred with the base falls into the latter category."
The Cruz criticism doesn't end. You would never know that the reason many of my colleagues and I got into this business was to defend those who were being piled on, not to join the pile.
This must be the new rite of passage for the clubby D.C. press corps. It used to be that all you had to do was poke at George W. Bush or Sarah Palin for supposedly not being very smart. Now you bash Cruz for supposedly being too smart for his own good.
Everyone wants to know: Who does this guy think he is?
I'll tell you. Unlike most of his critics, I've known Cruz for more than 10 years. And, the real thing doesn't resemble the caricature.
Here are the charges leveled against him: Cruz doesn't ask "Mother, may I?" before he speaks. Cruz doesn't respect his elders in the Senate. (This includes John McCain, who ironically, in 2000, built an entire presidential campaign on his reputation for being a "maverick" in the Senate.) Cruz is starved for attention. (No, not in politics!) Cruz insults his colleagues for being "squishes" on tough issues. (Like Chuck Hagel who, in January 2007, scolded his Senate colleagues for waffling on the surge in Iraq, telling them: "If you want a safe job, go sell shoes.") Cruz has an enormous ego. (No, not in the Senate!) And, lastly, Cruz is in an awful hurry to make his mark. (Like Barack Obama, who formed an exploratory committee for a presidential run in January 2007, just two years after being sworn in to his first Senate term).
Not all the reviews are negative. Consider what one well-known Beltway exile had to say about Cruz.
"I think he is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I've seen in the last 30 years," Democratic strategist James Carville said during a panel discussion on ABC's "This Week." "I further think that he is going to run for president, and he is going to create something. ... This guy has no fear. He just keeps plowing ahead. He is going to be something to watch. ... He is more talented than all of these other guys."
You know, it seems that Carville is thinking more clearly since when he and his wife, Mary Matalin, left the D.C. bubble and moved to New Orleans in 2008.
The Ragin' Cajun is right. Ted Cruz doesn't back up. He keeps coming. He is not shy, deferential or susceptible to peer pressure. And that terrifies the Washington establishment -- in both parties. Just as it frustrates the media. Neither one knows what to do with him.

Availability will be late 2013. No pricing as of yet.
From announcement:
The Bianchi Countervail® integrated system immediately cancels vibration while increasing frame rigidity. The Countervail® vibration cancelling composite technology is now exclusively introduced for cycling by Bianchi.
Revolutionizing the world of endurance cycling, and three days before Paris-Roubaix, one of the most legendary and toughest races in the world - Bianchi introduces the new Infinito CV.
Proven in the extreme conditions of NASA aerospace operations, Countervail® is now exclusively introduced for cycling by Bianchi.
Bianchi and MSC's intense laboratory testing and the rigorous experiences of our professional test riders confirm, the Bianchi Countervail® integrated systemimmediately cancels vibration while increasing frame rigidity. Decreased vibration reduces muscle fatigue which improves handling, rider control, and maximizes energy savings under the spectrum of vibration loads. "MSC and Bianchi have entered into a license and trademark use agreement enabling Bianchi to utilize the Countervail® patented technology and registered trademark within the bicycle industry. MSC has collaborated with Bianchi to incorporate Countervail® technology in Bianchi bicycles, starting with the new Infinito CV model announced today", Thomas Cassin, President/CEO of MSC commented.
Scientific studies* conclude that eliminating vibration benefits the rider with reduced muscle fatigue and maximizes energy savings.
The new aero shaped Infinito CV with Countervail® vibration cancelling technology is cobblestone proven by our UCI WorldTour professional riders, and will be officially used in competition by Vacansoleil-DCM's Juan Antonio Flecha at Paris-Roubaix, on Sunday. Flecha attended today's Infinito CV official presentation in Lille.
The Infinito CV carbon fiber frame keeps the optimal C2C (Coast to Coast) road endurance geometry that distinguished the previous Infinito, giving every rider the maximum level of performance and peak power output under normal to extreme vibration loads with more control during endurance rides.
2014 Infinito CV also available with the innovative Bianchi disc brake system.
* As noted by the Journal of Sciences and Medicine report.

Terrorists "found a second chance" to thrive in Iraq, the nation's prime minister said Thursday in asking for new U.S. aid to beat back a bloody insurgency that has been fueled by the neighboring Syrian civil war and the departure of American troops from Iraq two years ago.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told a packed auditorium at the U.S. Institute of Peace that he needs additional weapons, help with intelligence and other assistance, and claimed the world has a responsibility to help because terrorism is an international concern.
"They carry their bad ideas everywhere," al-Maliki said of terrorists. "They carry bad ideas instead of flowers."
The new request comes nearly two years after al-Maliki's government refused to let U.S. forces remain in Iraq, after nearly nine years of war, with legal immunity that the Obama administration insisted was necessary to protect troops. The administration had campaigned on ending the war in Iraq and took the opportunity offered by the legal dispute to pull all troops out.
Al-Maliki will meet Friday with President Barack Obama in what Baghdad hopes will be a fresh start in a complicated relationship that has been marked both by victories and frustrations for each side.
Within months of the U.S. troops' departure, violence began creeping up in the capital and across the country as Sunni Muslim insurgents, angered by a widespread belief that Sunnis had been sidelined by the Shiite-led government, lashed out. The State Department says at least 6,000 Iraqis have been killed in attacks so far this year, and suicide bombers launched 38 strikes in the last month alone.
"So the terrorists found a second chance," al-Maliki said — a turnabout from an insurgency that was mostly silenced by the time the U.S. troops left.
Al-Maliki largely blamed the Syrian civil war for the rise in Iraq's violence. In Syria, rebels — including some linked to al-Qaida — are fighting to overthrow President Bashar Assad.
Al-Maliki said he will ask Obama for new assistance to bolster Iraq's military and fight al-Qaida. The Iraqi ambassador to the U.S. said that could include speeding up the delivery of U.S. aircraft, missiles, interceptors and other weapons, and improving national intelligence systems among other things.
Iraqi Ambassador Lukman Faily did not rule out the possibility of asking the U.S. to send military special forces or additional CIA advisers to Iraq to help train and assist counterterror troops, but noted that if the U.S. doesn't provide the help, Iraq will go where it can, including China or Russia, which would be more than happy to increase their influence in Baghdad at U.S. expense.
The two leaders also will discuss how Iraq can improve its fractious government, which so often is divided among sectarian or ethnic lines, to give it more confidence with a bitter and traumatized public.
The ambassador said no new security agreement would be needed to give immunity to additional U.S. advisers or trainers in Iraq. And he said Iraq would pay for the additional weapons or other assistance.
A senior Obama administration official said Wednesday that U.S. officials were not planning to send U.S. trainers to Iraq and that Baghdad had not asked for them. The administration official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters by name.
U.S. officials were prepared to help Iraq with an approach that did not focus just on military or security gaps, the administration official said. The aid under consideration might include more weapons for Iraqi troops who do not have necessary equipment to battle al-Qaida insurgents, he said.
Administration officials consider the insurgency, which has rebranded itself as the Islamic State of Iraq in the Levant, a major and increasing threat both to Iraq and the U.S., the official said.
U.S. and Iraqi officials see a possible solution in trying to persuade insurgents to join forces with Iraqi troops and move away from al-Qaida, following a pattern set by so-called Awakening Councils in western Iraq that marked a turning point in the war. Faily said much of the additional aid — including weapons and training — would go toward this effort.
Sen. John McCain, a leading Republican who opposed the U.S. troop withdrawal in 2011, said Iraq likely would not get the aid until al-Maliki, a Shiite, makes strides in making the government more inclusive to Sunnis. "The situation is deteriorating and it's unraveling, and he's got to turn it around," McCain said Wednesday after a tense meeting with al-Maliki.
Nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed in Iraq between the 2003 invasion and the 2011 withdrawal. More than 100,000 Iraqi were killed in that time.

Almond Butter-Stuffed Pears
A formal dinner calls for an elegant dessert like these stuffed pears. A mild nutty filling pairs well with the tender, sweet fruit.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Total TimePrep: 1 hour Bake: 30 min.
Makes12 servings
- 2 cups unblanched whole almonds, toasted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 cups pear juice
- 3 cups sweet white wine, divided
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split
- 12 medium pears
- Combine almonds and salt in a food processor. Cover and process until almonds are finely chopped. Add oil; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine pear juice, 1 cup wine, brown sugar and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; remove vanilla bean. With a sharp knife, scrape bean to remove the seeds; stir into sauce. Discard bean. Return to a boil; cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 50-55 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°. Slice 1 in. off the top of each pear and set aside. Core pears, leaving bottoms intact. Fill with reserved almond mixture. Place pears in a shallow roasting pan; replace tops. Add remaining wine. Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until pears are tender, basting occasionally. Serve with sauce.

We apologize for any confusion, but this recipe is correct as published. After the pears are filled with the almond mixture and placed in the roasting pan, the remaining wine is poured around the pears in the dish.As for a substitute for the wine, a sweet fruit juice or nectar should work OK.Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Nov 9, 2010
Is there anything that you could substitute for a sweet white wine?
Nov 9, 2010
I don't know about missing steps but I think these sound wonderful. Wonder if you could use pear nectar in place of the wine?
Nov 9, 2010
Just looking at the directions, it appears that there is a step or two missing.

From LSN Information Privacy Law Vol. 1 No. 8, 08/05/2008:
"Consumer Information Sharing: Where the Sun Still Don't Shine"
CHRIS JAY HOOFNAGLE, University of California, Berkeley – School of Law – Berkeley Center for Law & Technology
In late 2007, the popular social networking site Facebook.com adopted "Beacon," an application that informs Facebook users' friends about purchases made and activities on other websites. For example, if a Facebook user bought a movie ticket on Fandango.com, that user's friends would be informed of that fact through a news "feed" on Facebook. Some users objected vigorously to the Beacon application, because their activities were reported on an opt-out basis, meaning that the user had to take affirmative action to prevent others from learning about their activities. An activism website, Moveon.org, organized a protest, calling users to action by asking, "When you buy a book or movie online – do you want that information automatically shared with the world on Facebook?" Facebook responded to these critiques by changing its policy to obtain express approval before activities on other sites would be shared with friends.
The Facebook folly demonstrates how intensely consumers reject the "sharing" of personal information for marketing purposes. In this instance, consumers learned of Facebook's strategy because it was transparent and obvious to the individual. But what most do not realize is that, in the absence of a specific law prohibiting information sharing, businesses are generally free to monetize their customer databases by selling, renting, or trading them to others. In fact, the sale of customer information is a common, albeit opaque practice that, if disclosed at all, is usually mentioned in a "privacy policy." Facebook's Beacon simply made information sharing obvious to users.
Studies have shown that most consumers oppose the sale of personal information. Unfortunately, most consumers are under the misimpression that a company with a "privacy policy" is barred from selling data. To learn more about information selling, the authors, using a California privacy law, made requests to 86 companies for a disclosure of information sharing practices. The results show that while many companies have voluntarily adopted a policy of not sharing personal information with third parties, many still operate under an opt-out model that is inconsistent with consumer expectations, and others simply did not respond to the request. Based on these results, the authors propose several public policy approaches to bringing business practices in information sharing in line with consumer expectations.
"Privacy Protection and the Right to Information: In Search of a New Symbiosis in the Information Age"
CYBERLAW, SECURITY & PRIVACY, S.M. Kierkegaard, eds., International Association of IT Lawyers, pp. 201-212, 2007
PIETER KLEVE, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) – Centre for Computers and Law
RICHARD V. DE MULDER, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) – Centre for Computers and Law
JENNIFER KING, Berkeley Center for Law & Technology, University of California, Berkeley – School of Law
The dichotomy between personal privacy and free access to information, which has come increasingly to the fore with the advance of information technology, justifies a reconsideration of these traditional values and interests. In this article, it is contended that privacy, as a constitutional right, is subject to changing norms as a result of the advent of the information society. In today's information society, citizens weigh the importance of protecting privacy against the advantages of free access to information. The criterion they use is a rational one: an evaluation of which option provides the individual with the most benefit. The protection of privacy is no longer an unconditional good. For state organisations to champion privacy at any cost is, therefore, out of step with this development. A new balance has to be established between the citizen's right to privacy and their right to know, taking into account this shift in values. In order to prevent on the one hand overzealous protection and, on the other, the abuse of information, it is necessary to set up the monitoring function in a new way.

The new federal appropriations bill provides $67 billion for education, which eases burdens caused by sequestration cuts. Now, a report on state spending on higher education shows an upward trend, and student loan debt is higher than ever before.
Congress has approved a $1.1 trillion omnibus appropriations bill providing significant relief for education programs hit hard by sequestration cuts. Politico reports that the bill awards education programs a total of $67 billion, which is only slightly less than the $71.2 billion President Obama proposed in his 2014 budget. The president is expected to sign the bill, according to the LA Times. The new bill will provide monies for educational programs believed to be critical, including $1 billion for the keystone early childhood program Head Start, according to PBS NewsHour. Politico found that $1 million is allocated for a report on how colleges are affected by regulations and reporting requirements. The appropriations bill follows the biggest reductions in K-12 funding in history. Education Week reports that Education spending in K-12 schools was down $1.7 billion during the 2013-2014 school year. According to survey data, the sequestration forced districts to eliminate staff and freeze salaries, boost class sizes, scale back teacher training, downsize academic programs, and delay maintenance projects. The cuts hit schools on military bases and Indian reservations especially hard, as well as special education programs. This funding, channeled through the Impact Aid program, will be restored at $2.4 billion, according to PBS. While some programs got the congressional go-ahead, the bill does not fully fund other education measures advanced by the Obama administration. Race to the Top, a competitive grant program, will receive just $250 million, down from the $1 billion the president proposed, according to Education Week. Race to the Top provides grants to schools initiating reforms tailored to their local needs, ranging from Common Core development to adding new technology in classrooms. Additionally, the bill does not replace a $506 million sequestration cut from the administration's high-priority School Improvement Grant program. Just as the appropriations bill is headed for Pres. Obama's desk, a new study by Illinois State University reports that state spending on higher education may also be on the mend. While state higher education budgets are up an average of 6 percent from last year, they nevertheless remain 11 percent lower than pre-recession levels, the Wall Street Journal reports. "A nuanced view of this year's budgets," reports Inside Higher Ed, reveals that more than 50 percent of the increase comes from relatively substantial gains in just three large states: California, Florida and Illinois. In contrast, Hawaii increased its spending on higher education by less than 1 percent, and Louisiana is defending itself in court for spending just 65 percent of what it did before the recession. Arizona has also cut funding by nearly one-third, and Gov. Jan Brewer's FY 2015 budget proposal keeps funding at its current levels, according to Huffington Post. As states have decreased funding over the last few years, tuition has skyrocketed by more than 70 percent in some states' four-year public schools, according to the Huffington Post. The Wall Street Journal reports that defaults on student loans have risen for six consecutive years. Student debt is also reaching new heights each year; the Senate Joint Economic Committee found that it nearly doubled between 2007 and 2013 to more than $1 trillion.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D139157%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

"A Plea from a Friend" (涙の咆哮!オマエはオレの友達だ, Namida no Hōkō! Omae wa Ore no Tomodachi da) is episode 133 of the original Naruto anime.
A Plea from a Friend (涙の咆哮!オマエはオレの友達だ, Namida no Hōkō! Omae wa Ore no Tomodachi da) is episode 133 of the original Naruto anime.
Sasuke is dumbstruck by Naruto's display of power and asks Naruto what he is. In tears, Naruto says that he is Sasuke's friend and will not let him defect to Orochimaru even if it means breaking Sasuke's arms and legs to stop him. The boys fight, and Sasuke struggles to counter Naruto's increased speed and strength. After a severe beating, Naruto pins Sasuke against the rock wall and asks him if he has come to senses yet. Sasuke tells Naruto that he could not possibly understand what it feels like to lose his whole family, because Naruto was alone from the start.
Naruto admits that whereas he knows nothing about parents or siblings, he thinks of Iruka as a father, and he wonders if his relationship with Sasuke is similar to having a brother. Naruto states that to protect this bond, he will stop Sasuke no matter what. Sasuke resists Naruto's appeals and and says that it is too late for him to go back. He puts on his forehead protector and calls for Naruto to come, that he will break the bonds of their friendship. A third tomoe appears in Sasuke's Sharingan signifying that it is now fully mature. Naruto asks Sasuke why he's bothering with the headband if he seeks to break his bond with Naruto and the rest Konohagakure. Sasuke explains that he is recognising Naruto as an equal, though he once again taunts that Naruto won't even be able to scratch his forehead. Elsewhere, Kakashi catches up to Pakkun and the two hurry to stop Sasuke and Naruto.
Naruto and Sasuke resume their battle, but this time Sasuke has the upper hand, harnessing the full power of the Sharingan. Naruto uses a chain of shadow clones to throw Sasuke into the cliff wall, but Sasuke counters with Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique. A half-conscious Naruto again implores Sasuke to stop, but Sasuke declares it too late and as a finishing move, pile drives Naruto into the ground below. Inside Naruto's subconscious, the Nine-Tailed Fox says that Naruto is too weak and that the boy should be thankful to him. Seemingly defeated, the fox's red chakra begins pouring out of Naruto, who slowly gets up and punches the shocked Sasuke. Naruto grows a chakra tail, moves like a fox, and attacks Sasuke once more. Sasuke struggles against Naruto's onslaught and notices that the red chakra seems to have a mind of its own.
Sasuke tries using his cursed seal, but even that is ineffective against Naruto's attacks. Sasuke laughs and says that Naruto has given him no choice but to use the second level of his cursed seal. As the seal transforms his body, Sasuke's hair grows longer, his nails extend, and his skin turns purple. He acknowledges that Naruto possesses a special power, but says that he is more special.
- This particular episode is noted for its use of a more fluid, less exact animation style than most of the episodes in the original series. This is a trademark of animator Norio Matsumoto, who also did key animation for episodes 30, 48, 71, and Naruto Shippūden episodes 85, 123 and 167.

Relations with Mongolia
Over recent years, NATO has developed relations with a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area. Mongolia is counted among these countries, which are referred to as "partners across the globe." Building on cooperation in peace-support operations that has developed since 2005, NATO and Mongolia agreed to further develop relations by launching an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme.
In a spirit of mutual benefit and reciprocity, NATO's partnership with Mongolia aims to promote common understanding through consultation and cooperation. Based on a shared commitment to peace, democracy, human rights, rule of law and international security, Mongolia and NATO adopted in March 2012 an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme (IPCP) which sets out plans to enhance interoperability, address global security issues, develop mechanisms for crisis prevention and management, and build capacity.
Recent political engagment has served to identify the strategic priorities for the development of partnership relations. Mongolia has hosted high-level NATO delegations, such as those led by Director General of the International Military Staff LtGen Juergen Bornemann in September 2011 and by Deputy Assistant Secretary General James Appathurai in May 2011. In November 2010, President Tsakhia Elbegdorj attended the Lisbon Summit. These exchanges provided opportunities to discuss NATO-Mongolia cooperation and Mongolia's current and future involvement in international crisis management.
In addition to promoting political dialogue at various levels and formats, the two-year IPCP with Mongolia foresees practical cooperation in the fields of training and education, science, emerging security challenges, public diplomacy, and peace-support operations.
Mongolia has contributed troops to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan since March 2010, when it first deployed an infantry platoon to ISAF's Regional Command North. The country also supports the Training Mission in Afghanistan with infantry, artillery and air mentor trainers. In addition, Mongolia participated in the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) from December 2005 to March 2007.
To further enhance the interoperability of its armed forces with NATO forces, Mongolia plans to exchange best practices, participate in a wide range of NATO courses and training activities, and consider the possibility of select forces taking part in the Operational Capabilities Concept. The Mongolian Five Hills Peace Support Operations Training Centre has been recognised as part of the network of Partnership Training and Education Centres, since August 2014.
Cooperation in the area of emerging security challenges focuses in particular on counter-terrorism, non-proliferation and cyber defence. Proposals for cooperation in the field of science and technology – notably through the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme – include the rehabilitation of former military sites and the development of resilience and security in information communications technology.

A cloud of black smoke floated over downtown Worcester this afternoon after a Honda Accord caught fire in the parking lot of St. Vincent Hospital. The car's owner, Bernie Dowd, had been having engine trouble and had summoned AAA for help. As the car was being serviced, the car somehow caught on fire. "It burned good," Mr. Dowd said. The fire, reported about 1 p.m., was quickly doused by firefighters. Two nearby cars and some shrubbery were damaged.
